The Day

It’s been said there are only two certain things – taxes and death. That list may not be conclusive, but April 15 has been dubbed tax-day. Ignore the day, if you will, but come-what-may, every April has one!

There’s yet another day coming to of us. In Genesis God said, “By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." (3:19) I dare say, few of us walk around bragging about being dust! No, we snazzy-up ourselves with the latest, fashions, cars, homes, and accessories – fancy dust! Just like tax-day, we live either in denial or in forgetfulness. The Prophet Samuel wrote, “Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But that is not what God desires; rather, He devises ways so that a banished person does not remain banished from Him.” (2 Samuel 14:14). Before time, in the mind of God, He planned a way for us to live eternally, the soul of man living eternally. God’s love was made complete in His Son, Christ Jesus, so that “on the day of judgment … we are like Jesus.” (1 John 4:17). Judgment day comes when we will appear before Christ to answer for things done while in the body – whether good or bad (2 Corinthians 5:10). Question is – are you ready?

There’s a great day coming, a great day coming
There’s a great day coming by and by,
When the saints and the sinners shall be parted right and left
Are you ready for that day to come?
Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready for the judgment day?
Are you ready? Are you ready? For the judgment day?
